Ingredients
- 2 lb Russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1/3 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Salt
- Ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese
Cooking Steps
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Scrub the potatoes with water and a bristled brush (no need to peel). Cut into 1-2 inch cubes, add them to the boiling water, and cook until tender when pierced with a fork, 15-20 minutes. Drain.
- In a large bowl, purée the potatoes with an electric mixer or potato masher. Mix in the butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste until thoroughly combined and smooth, taking care not to overmix.
- Position an oven rack 3-4 inches below the broiler element and turn the broiler to High. Transfer the potatoes to a baking dish and top evenly with the cheddar cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted and just begins to brown, 3-5 minutes. Watch closely. Serve warm.
